Was lovely and unique place to stay. My only issue was the bathroom mirror is very high and I am not tall. The lighting could also be better for me to do hair and make up. Apart from this the location and facilities were excellent.

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely studio. Rob was a fantastic and friendly host who was quick to answer all our questions. We were spoilt with all the free gift cards used for lunch and coffees.

Relaxing Getaway with a Fantastic View
We are SO GLAD we decided not stay in the city and instead book this accommodation for our vacation. The place is beautiful and the view is even better! The host is organized and made us feel welcomed from the first day we got there. We would definitely return should we return to the area!

Beautiful Place!
There aren't enough stars to express how amazing Rob's place and his ability to host the house. The location is fantastic. There are beautiful beaches and views close by and Rob is incredibly kind and thoughtful. We would love to come back to stay in the future!

Hi Amy, Please organise some more Sydney gigs so we can all hang out over and over. Meeting you guys was like running into a long lost friend. We are all so similar. Same passions, same goals. Same crazy entertainment business keeping us broke but emotionally rich! Lol Seriously it was refreshing for me. I don't usually see my guests as it's all very private and contactless so thank you for reaching out and allowing me to discover how beautiful y'all are and what great taste you have and good vibes you both send out to the universe.. I hope Mississippi is happy, healthy and wise and the trip home not to uncomfortable. Here's to hanging in 24! 🍺🍻🥂🍾 😘

Absolutely no complaints. The room was very comfortable and well appointed. Very ingenious use of space. Gorgeous ocean views in a wonderfully quiet neighbourhood. Couldn't ask for more.

Disliked: Amenities
Quality fittings, furnishings and beautiful window view but otherwise mediocre. Misleading false primary photo showing table and seating, toilet located in small frosted glass cupboard in front of the TV. Very inconvenient neck breaking position to watch TV. All adds up to a very diappointing overpriced unit.

We were in stanwell tops for a wedding and this property was a very easy walk to the venue. A lovely view from the studio added to our stay.

Stanwell Tops Getaway
Property was cute and great for a couple. A bit of a distance to shops/restaurants so be sure to be self sufficient or prepared to drive. Beautiful outlook and comfortable stay. Great base to explore the Illawarra escarpment area. Clear communications with owner and easy checkin.

Hi Susan, Helensburgh shopping district / town is a 4 min drive. It's 3.5 Kilometers away. The cafes, resteraunts in Stanwell park are 3 kilometres away. 2 min drive. Even closer. Also across the road is tumbling waters where they also have a restaurant. It's a la carte and you need to make reservations in advance I'm told. You must of not read the guestbook and driven elsewhere? I wish guests would reach out when they are not sure. I send the full guestbook to everyone in advance and explain it contains info about everything! Anywho safe travels and hope to see you again one day. Best regards Robert Longview Lodge

Neat and modern
The place was great, plenty of amenities and very clean. Parking on street was easy and check-in/getting in was simple. The only thing missing from this place was a kitchen sink - super hard to wash dishes in a small sink that is also used for bathroom and hand washing.

Hi Bikram I'm sorry you had some issues. Im somewhat confused why you didn't read the studio instructions. It states on the welcoming document on the bed where you can't possibly miss it to place all used crockery, cutlery, glasses, mugs in the storage container in the cupboard and follow instructions,. On the storage container it also states if you are running low to place the container outside the door and they will be washed and returned asap. There are 8 of everything. No one has run out in whole time we've operated. I just wish you called or texted me so I could explain it and make your stay better. I never want people to have to wash that's why it's designed that way so you can enjoy your weekend without having to do domestic duties. Also if people request I always allow access to the kitchen too. Some people love to cook but 99% are looking to enjoy a private vacation and eat out and enjoy the studio for it's purpose which is a wonderful romantic experience. Second thing you didn't appear to wash up as there was many dirty dishes left strewn around the studio making this whole conversation questionable. I'm somewhat disappointed you must have missed the instructions or felt unsure about reaching out to us. Miscommunication is a sad thing but it happens and I wish you the best on your journeys and I'm truly glad you enjoyed the rest of the studio. It's doing its job for couples and I'm so happy it is working as is intended. 5 Stars to you from me. I will include contact details on the welcome document and storage container so it hopefully doesn't happen again. Best of luck Robert Longview Lodge.

Awesome Studio in the heart of Stanwell Tops
I thoroughly enjoyed having base camp set up in the middle of Stanwell Tops. The studio was very modern and new, and with a sense of a little bit of added grandeur. A lovely place to relax and unwind after getting out to some of the local beaches or hiking tracks, and lots of good options nearby for food. Nice gateway to the coast. Rob was a great host and we loved the stay.

Hi Alan The floors were wet because the cleaner did a thorough clean. The tiles are very pourus and they don't dry super fast and it's was only a very short time between guests checking out and you checking in. But rest assured the studio was cleaned thoroughly and ready for your stay. Thank you for choosing us for your accommodation needs.
